Lenny Zappavigna

Post by alexpaterson »

What do you all think about him? I saw his last fight against Angulo and was impressed for 3 rounds he looked strong and accurate plus fairly powerful but then Angulo exposed him slightly showing he was one dimensional and fairly slow. I felt he was very lucky to get the decision. What are your views on him?

I think Lenny is a good fighter with plenty of heart, he has been untouchable in Oz, but maybe he will be exposed on an International level, I find he loads up alot looking for that KO, but his last bout I believe he was beaten...

I rate him, I've followed him since he was 6-0 and have seen him fight live a couple of times, he's very exciting, despite his poor KO percentage of late.

I honesly thought the first 5 rounds went to Zappa easily against Angulo, who almost touched the canvass in at least 3 of those rounds, Lennys cut appeared and everything went to shitt from there, 11 and 12 were even rounds, very.

He definately needs to improve on his defence, and needs to learn to set up those hooks/rips....be patient, he's only 22.

I remember certain person from England thought he was just hype after his KO win over Tommy Browne, and i also remember another certain Australian poster disagreeing and said he would win a title within 2 years ;;-).

Good fighter but pretty ordinary performance from Zappa in his last outing.

Angulo went the distance with Juan Diaz when Diaz was WBA champion. He is no mug. Lenny did well to beat him.

Ye i know it is still a good win, but he never impressed me. He should be in some cracking fights down the line.

The rats tail on the back of his crew cut is hardly likely to get in his eyes, is it?
